Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 2029 - 358: Helping My Young Cousin 1

Wang Yue held back from charging inside right away, instead peering through the doorway to observe the scene within.

Within the expansive training hall, merely three figures occupied the space. Li Gang was one of those present.

After some time since their last meeting, Li Gang's muscles had bulked up even further, and his stature had grown taller too—now surpassing two meters. With his torso exposed, he loomed like a towering pillar of iron.

The remaining two individuals gripped heavy iron bars, relentlessly pounding at Li Gang. Those dull thuds Wang Yue had caught were from these impacts.

From the powerful presence radiating off the pair, it was clear they were both warriors at the Concentration Realm level, unleashing their full power in the assault.

Beneath their unyielding barrage, Li Gang's upper frame became riddled with bruises and gashes. In mere moments, every inch of his skin bore marks of damage.

Blood even trickled from his mouth, a sign of deep internal harm he had endured.

The duo halted their strikes, panting as they spoke, "Brother Li Gang, that's enough for now. Rest up a bit."

"Thanks to you both. You rest as well," Li Gang responded in a rough, strained tone. He then stumbled toward a side table in the training area.

Various bottles of medicines in assorted shapes sat upon the table. With his right hand, Li Gang grabbed one, dumped its contents straight into his left palm, and gulped them down without a tally.

Once the pills were consumed, he skipped any break and launched into a sequence of martial forms.

Soon enough, the injuries across Li Gang's body mended at a startling pace. In just minutes, every wound had vanished, leaving him brimming with vitality.

As the initial discoverer of Li Gang's exceptional body, Wang Yue found himself in awe of the man's extraordinary aptitude for body refinement.

Should this pattern persist, with the ongoing beatings and restorative elixirs, Li Gang would soon ascend to the fifth stage of the Transcendent Realm or beyond. A talent like that would cast him as the central hero or a formidable villain in any tale or film, destined for dramatic glory.

Wang Yue himself, without his grasp of the Yin-Yang Principle and his custom cultivation method, would stand little chance against Li Gang, even with the edge of his past-life knowledge.

Once Li Gang wrapped up his routine, Wang Yue stepped in alongside Liu Mei.

"Li Gang, the third young master has come to meet you," Liu Mei announced to him.

Li Gang, pondering whether to request another round from the two, caught sight of Wang Yue at Liu Mei's words. He dashed over with enthusiasm, exclaiming, "Young master, Grandma Mei!"

Wang Yue gave an affirming nod. Despite his substantial power growth, Li Gang kept his pure spirit intact. Wang Yue's judgment of him had proven spot on.

"Li Gang, how's the training progressing?" Wang Yue inquired. Towering over him, Li Gang made Wang Yue feel almost childlike in comparison, which irked him slightly.

Thrilled, Li Gang answered, "Young master, they've told me I'm quite powerful these days."

"Is that so? How powerful exactly? Give me a strike to see." Wang Yue grinned.

Startled, Li Gang protested quickly, "Young master, I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you."

"I wasn't asking for a real hit. And you couldn't land one on me regardless. I only want to gauge your power level now," Wang Yue explained. "Go ahead, unleash your full punch."

Though hesitant for ages, Li Gang couldn't bring himself to defy Wang Yue. He swung, but the blow lacked force, barely enough to fell a small animal.

Wang Yue brushed the feeble punch away with disdain and barked, "I said put everything into it!"

"Oh." Li Gang acknowledged, then delivered another swing. It carried more weight this time, yet still held back.

Wang Yue evaded with ease and warned, "This is your final shot. Hold back again, and I'll head back to give your sister a spanking!"

Anxiety surged through Li Gang at once. His sister served as Wang Yue's dedicated servant, and Wang Yue had granted him immense kindness. He held no sway over Wang Yue disciplining her, but a young woman's rear wasn't for casual contact.

To spare his sister the punishment, Li Gang mustered his utmost might and launched a fist toward Wang Yue. Yet his height dwarfed Wang Yue's, and fearing a head strike, he targeted the left shoulder instead. He bent down awkwardly to deliver the blow.

Snap!

Wang Yue intercepted the mighty strike effortlessly with a single hand.

Wang Yue nodded appreciatively. Liu Mei had spoken true—Li Gang's power now rivaled a fifth-stage Ningshen Realm expert, if not surpassing it. That was no small feat.

Next, Wang Yue channeled a touch more inner energy, redirecting a rebound force toward Li Gang.

Having expended all his energy in the punch, Li Gang was caught off guard by Wang Yue's return push, which sent him stumbling back several paces until he plopped onto the floor.

Still, Li Gang's resilience stemmed from countless skirmishes, making him tougher than typical warriors. With Wang Yue's restrained effort, he emerged unscathed. He sprang back up swiftly and flashed Wang Yue a thumbs-up. "Young master, you're incredible."

"It's not my skill; you're just too dense and can't redirect an enemy's force," Wang Yue chided. He then faced Liu Mei and questioned, "Grandma Mei, why are his fighting techniques so lacking?"

Liu Mei let out a resigned sigh. "The boy's overly straightforward. After he unintentionally hurt a fresh recruit in sparring, he won't face our own anymore. We can't hone his battle prowess at all."

This revelation left Wang Yue feeling equally powerless. Li Gang's reluctance to harm allies was admirable, but without fight experience, he could only overpower inferiors. Greater challenges seemed out of reach.

"Li Gang, you've made great strides. Your advancement is swift, though your battle savvy needs work," Wang Yue encouraged. He followed up, "Has this quick growth brought any drawbacks? Any discomfort anywhere?"

"None at all. I feel more robust, agile, and spirited," Li Gang assured. "I'm perfectly fine."

"Truly? Double-check." Wang Yue pressed, concern lingering. After all, Li Gang was Li Menglan's sibling. Any mishap would leave him at a loss on how to face her.

Though Li Menglan hailed from outside Jinling's three great clans, she had steadfastly cared for Li Gang in both timelines. To Wang Yue, she felt like kin.

Li Gang pondered deeply and recalled a troubling issue. "You're onto something. There is a snag: my manhood won't stiffen any longer."

Liu Mei flushed with mortification and irritation at Li Gang's crude words in company. Yet with Wang Yue there, she held her tongue. She merely stated, "Carry on chatting, you two. I've got matters to attend."

She spun around and departed swiftly.

"What's gotten into Grandma Mei?" Li Gang wondered, puzzled by her abrupt exit—he'd never seen her flee so fast. He posed the question.

"Your crude talk did it. She's a lady—how could you blurt that out around her?" Wang Yue snapped in annoyance.

"A lady?" Li Gang blinked in bewilderment. He knew Liu Mei's true years. To him, even the women near his mother tossed around coarse terms freely.
